research Ornithine Decarboxylase Expression Leads to Translocation and Activation of Protein Kinase CK2 In Vivo
The study explored the impact of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) overexpression on protein kinase CK2 activity in Balb/MK cells and K6/ODC transgenic mice, revealing that increased ODC expression elevated polyamine levels, which enhanced CK2 activity and caused its translocation to the nucleus. This suggested that polyamines regulated CK2 by affecting its distribution and activity, potentially contributing to tumor development. The use of an ODC inhibitor reduced polyamine levels and CK2 activity, supporting the regulatory role of polyamines. Despite increased CK2 protein levels, the rise in enzyme activity was modest, indicating a complex relationship between protein levels and activity.

research Inhibition of Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma Development in Protein Kinase C Epsilon Transgenic Mice by Alpha-Difluoromethylornithine with Hair Follicle Degeneration and Hair Loss
The study investigated the effects of TPA-stimulated polyamine biosynthesis on metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (mSCC) development in protein kinase C epsilon (PKC epsilon) transgenic mice. It was found that TPA treatment significantly increased epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and putrescine levels in these mice compared to wild-type littermates. The development of mSCC was completely prevented by administering alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an ODC inhibitor, in the drinking water during TPA promotion. However, this treatment resulted in marked hair loss and a decrease in intact hair follicles in the transgenic mice. The findings suggested a link between TPA-induced ODC activity, putrescine accumulation, hair follicle maintenance, and mSCC development, with the observed hair loss being a novel side effect not previously reported in other cancer prevention models.
